A vendor makes street food at a roadside snack stand in Kolkata, India, on September 8, 2025. Kolkata's street food is a dynamic story of cultural fusion, with influences from the British colonial era, the Mughals, and East Asian communities shaping the city's diverse culinary landscape. Iconic dishes like the Kathi roll and cutlets emerge from the colonial period, while Indo-Chinese dishes arise from 1700s Chinese trades. The city's tradition of street vendors selling affordable and convenient meals, from puffed rice mixtures to momos and phuchkas, solidifies its status as a vibrant street food capital.
